Premier Ford,
Please, please, please stop starving our coveted and most important public health-care system.
Privatized, for-profit clinics are not the answer. When it comes to health care, universal public access to medical services for all Canadians always trumps profit. Health care needs to be a cost-covering enterprise, but it should never be a for-profit business.
For the sake of the people you care for, please use all the political influence you have to build up, improve and preserve our public health-care system.
Jim Thompson
